CHOCOLATE PUDDING PIE FAQS

1. Why do you cover the hot chocolate pie filling with plastic wrap?

Covering the hot pudding before you put the pie in the refrigerator keeps the air away from it, and prevents a thick skin from forming on top. You want your pie filling to be super creamy, not chunky! xo

2. What makes the chocolate pie filling thicken?

The thickener is corn starch, that has been well blended with sugar. That’s why it’s so important to keep stirring the pie filling while it is cooking on the stove.

3. Why do some recipes for chocolate pie use eggs?

There are many pudding pie filling recipes that use eggs in the recipe, but I think you will prefer this one, since it really has a decadent chocolate flavour, and holds it shape once chilled as well.
